Abstract:
[Objective]To investigate Y-shaped osteotomy and the internal fixation with geese-head steel plates for treatment of congenital coxa vara.[Method]Lesser subtrochanteric and greater laterotrochanteric osteotomy were performed for 7 cases(9 hips)of congenital coxa vara with the Y-shaped osteotomy line.The distal femoral section met the lateral greater trochanteric section,fixed with geese-head steel plates.[Result]The cases were followed up for 1~5 years(averaged 3.6 years).According to Shi Yingqi's evaluation,4 hips were excellent,4 good and 1 fair.[Conclusion]The Y-shaped osteotomy and internal fixation with geese-head steel plates can improve the abnormal structure of upper femur,increase the real length of the affected limb.Therefore,it is an ideal effective method for treatment of congenital coxa vara.
